[QUOTE="boswharfs, post: 57971"] As for ERI, the last time I took the ERI was at 7p.m. on September 11, 2001. When the whole of Boston, with the exception of 2 routes were evacuated from the city our management team got the brilliant idea to make everyone take the ERI since they were off early anyway. Well, when I came in at 7p.m. I was told I had to take it. I stated that I would be happy to take it the next day but what I really wanted to do was get home to my family. I was told again I had to take it before I went home. I did (work as directed always). When later complaining to other drivers about it, (before start time). I was called out by the center manager. "If you have a problem you talk to me." I did. When asked what my problem was, i told him. He asked me who made me take it. I told him. He told me that it was my fault, because it's voluntary. I won't bother you with the remainder of that conversation.....but I haven't felt compelled to take it since. I was asked this evening why I don't want to take it and get my opinion recorded. I retold the story and also said, "after ten years of driver's input, you would honestly think relationship things would get better. I have noticed no mesureable improvement. In fact in alot of ways things are worse." (maybe regional) This coupled with a new center manager who brags about having had the lowest ERI scores in the district last year, leads me to believe the ERI system is broken. {NOT HAPPY WITH "Well it's the best we have"}. Sorry this is so long but hard to do justice to the situation otherwise. [/QUOTE]
